NBA Reacts to President Donald Trump
A few days ago, Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry announced that he did not want to attend the White House as a result of winning the NBA Championship.
President Donald Trump took to the media to state that Curry is uninvited. President Trump also criticized the NFL, stating that those who kneel during the National Anthem should be fired immediately. NBA players like LeBron James and Chris Paul reacted via Twitter:
